Chris' Notes:

These are very easy and great for gift giving or just a treat for your family. We love to make them for the holidays.

Directions

Microwave chocolate in large bowl on High for 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted,stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.

Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Cool to room temperature(it is important for the mixture and bowl to really feel room temperature NOT warm at all).

Gently stir in whipped topping. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Scoop truffle mixture with a melon baller or teaspoon,then shape into 1 inch balls. Roll in your favorite coating...enjoy! Store in refrigerator.

Deneece they are good and very easy...and the plus is I just figured out that I can coat them with melted chocolate or white chocolate...freeze them for a few hours and then dip them quickly. They look great on a holiday cookie platter. Thank you Karla for sharing this recipe with your coconut group :o)

it was a recipe from a package of baker semi sweet, I was so glad I tried it, we used to live close to a Lindt chocolate outlet and we miss their truffles so much, I am not saying these are Lindt quality but they are good and so easy.
